It often happens in times of war between tribes that another tribe is tempted by the weakened players. If you go to war you must take into account that if you cant afford other tribes jumping on the bandwagon to noble your villages you mustn't go to war in the first place.
I don't know what happened in this situation but I would have done the same as Kinky and tried to steal a couple of easy village. However they're plan seems to have backfired as FEAR although already in a war did not ignore the few lost villages.
If you cant take the heat then get out of the frying pan. FEAR have shown they they will show strength where it is needed and they not only seem to be handling the heat, they are also beating of the vultures that are looking for a quick village.
Since you have already admitted to ignorance, I'll take the time to explain.
Kinky has no diplomacy with fear. -> Fear are in the same area as certain Kinky members -> Kinky members consider those fear members as fair game and noble them. I highly doubt if any Fear member nobled by a Kinky member was weakened from war. These "vultures" and "easy villages" are not part of the equation.
You perhaps would have have tried to pick off easy villages (as you have admitted). Its not our style though.
insofar as this "war" is concerned, Kinky have not been part of it at any phase that I am aware of. We were added to the stats by Potash, zenron, willo and some other members of PB*J who wanted to look good on P&P. Quite frankly, I'm daring anyone to find a post where any Kinky member (let alone leader) have said we were part of this war. When large tribes share the same area, there will be nobling between them. if you haven't experienced this, you probably haven't played the game for very long or with much success.
When we are in a war. We will let you know and it will be unmistakable. We will not depend on someone else to say it on our behalf.
In reference to the Fear family. Some of my conversations with Pride Of Heaven indicate that he is unhappy with the family model and would like to lose the branches. This is a very positive move imho. I do not know how much longer ~TI~ will remain part of the family.
